Continuing to pray the taraaweeh (prayers)
*Please appropriately reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Whoever prays the taraaweeh (prayers) must he then continue to pray them throughout Ramadhaan?

Response: No! He does not have to continue (to pray them) because it is a recommended (sunnah) prayer in that if he prays them then he is rewarded and if he leaves them then he is not a sinner, however (in leaving them) he misses out on a lot of good as we have said (before).
